    they really are like a mini 308 to drive.... or maybe a 308 is an X1/9 on steroids!

    When I heard the loud click and ping I felt sick.......So it was straight to bunnings at 7pm to get a telescopic stick magnet as I knew I wouldn't sleep if I has to wait till the morning.......When it came out it felt like I had won the lottery...:)

    Norm Singleton in Brissy can build you one (or at least, he used to - Horse might know). He grafts a 1.8 motor on it with lots of flares and air scoops - very racey!

    I can't tell you how many times a stick magnet has saved me the misery of a major dismantle. Try setting your cam timing without dropping a dowel pin at least once...

    On the other hand, when I pulled my Daytona motor down after "professional" expensive mechanics had been doing valve clearance services, I found 2 cam cap nut washers in the sump, which could have destroyed the engine. They'd dropped them and hadn't bothered to do anything about finding them, yet it only takes 15 minutes to drop the sump cover. From that point on, I did all my own servicing.

    I wish I had the time to do a lot more......The poor 355 has been waiting it's turn for a major for over a year now and I am hoping to put a stick shift in the 360 in the new year...
